Oh, the continued joys of my Ally...up until today, I loved my phone except for occasional issues with restarting, freezing, or flaky text memory. I've had it for a year and today while in the middle of a text conversation the phone locked and restarted. When it rebooted, the phone would stay on for a little less of a minute before cycling back to the flashing android lettering that you see after rebooting. Once back, the only thing accessible is the the password entry screen that also shows the Emergency Call button. I can't make this screen respond AT ALL. I can use the power button to get to the Silence, Airplane Mode, and Power menu...the touchscreen works because I can select options from the screen there. I've removed the battery dozens of times and replaced it and there's no change. I can accept phone calls by using the on screen slider (IF I happen to catch the phone in that brief window before it cycles back to the black android screen. I figured I could trick the phone back to the home screen during a call...nope. Despite the issues I keep having, I really like this phone. Maybe I just need to jump over to HTC
